Women and the War
The important part that women are playing in Britain’s war-time organisation was referred to by the Hon. P. Fraser on his return from representing New Zealand at the Empire Conference of Ministers held in London recently. “While the number of women actually employed up to the present in munition works is small compared with what it was during the later years of the last war, many more women are now employed in other activities,” he said. “Many thousands have been enrolled in the Auxiliaiy Territorial Service as cooks and helpers generally in the army kitchen and domestic work, in the Land Army, in Red Cross and Ambulance work, in the Auxiliary Fire Service, and in many other activities. They are filling many important positions, and frequently carrying on duties relinquished by men on active service ”
